Being that DAL is based in ATL their press release on immigration reform is curious. He dodged the obvious question so I have to believe it is an attempt to curry favor with the White House in an effort to influence DOT on the NAI application and the Export-Import Bank reform efforts.

Kinda interesting that the DOJ starts talking about an investigation into anticompetitive practices by Delta and now Anderson is talking Value Fares. Gonna be interesting to watch as the big 3 Behemoths try and take out the competition without antagonizing DOJ.

But we should never forget the guy is a hard, tough, negotiator; a labor attorney; and above all, he is beholden first and foremost to the shareholders (NOT to employees).

Correct, sorry if I was not clear but I was specifically referring to the influence that Grinstein had in determining the CEO positions.
In the book, Airline without a Pilot, the author makes a case that Leo as CEO, was worse for DAL than 9-11.

Do these people not pay attention to who is loading their bags (especially on the RJ's) on the plane or making their sandwiches in the terminal? Cheap labor sums it up

Wow, I was able to see Smisek live on CNBC last week, what a contrast.
Benzinga - Actionable Trading Ideas, Real Time News, Financial Insight
Smisek essentially has no message and instead gets continually peppered with statements/anecdotal evidence from the hosts about how bad LUAL was as a company.
He spends whole time making excuses for the operation/company/merger problems.

Seriously, you want sympathy? I worked for a contractor, DCI etc before DAL. What does RA have to do with your choices?

Did some digging and found some info on Deltamuseum.org:

HH--> Pres &Coo, 8/1/87
gg--> (Chairman & Ceo WAL), joined DAL BoD with merger, 4/1/87
I wasn't at the meeting, but I would suspect it would be pretty difficult to remove a sitting president and replace him with a Senior VP. That said, I blame the '81-'82 BoD for promoting ra in the first place!
